How to turn off or handle camelCasing in JSON response ASP.NET Core?

I'm running through a WintellectNOW course on ASP.NET Core/Web API/Angular 2. I have the API portion implemented, but for whatever reason, the JSON that is being returned has the variable names being lowercased.

The returned JSON is formatted like...

[
 {"id":1,"name":"Bowler","color":"black","count":1},
 {"id":2,"name":"Fedora","color":"red","count":1},
 {"id":3,"name":"Baseball Cap","color":"blue","count":3}
]

I'm expecting...

[
 {"Id":1,"Name":"Bowler","Color":"black","Count":1},
 {"Id":2,"Name":"Fedora","Color":"red","Count":1},
 {"Id":3,"Name":"Baseball Cap","Color":"blue","Count":3}
]

Based on the C# model of...

namespace HatCollection.Models
{
    public class Hat
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Color { get; set; }
        public int Count { get; set; }
    }
}

I even went as far as decorating the properties with [DataMember(Name = "Id")] just to make sure and it still didn't matter.

On the off chance, it's relevant the Action and instance variable in the controller...

private static readonly List<Hat> MyHats = new List<Hat>
{
    new Hat {Id = 1, Name = "Bowler", Color = "black", Count = 1 },
    new Hat {Id = 2, Name = "Fedora", Color = "red", Count = 1 },
    new Hat {Id = 3, Name = "Baseball Cap", Color = "blue", Count = 3 }
};

[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<Hat> Get()
{
    return MyHats;
}

How do I turn off the camelCase functionality, so that ASP.NET Core returns the property names without changing them?

Solution 1:

In Asp.Net Core 3.0 some things have changed. For camelCase do nothing that is out of the box. For PascalCase or another set style use.

services.AddMvc(setupAction=> {
            setupAction.EnableEndpointRouting = false;
        }).AddJsonOptions(jsonOptions =>
        {
            jsonOptions.JsonSerializerOptions.PropertyNamingPolicy = null;
        })
        .SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_3_0);

In Startup.cs ConfigureServices section

Solution 2:

For those who needs a solution about a PascalCase within Api Project that has not the Mvc services you should add this after AddControllers services

 // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddControllers().AddJsonOptions(jsonOptions =>
                {
                    jsonOptions.JsonSerializerOptions.PropertyNamingPolicy = null;
                } ;
        }

Solution 3:

For Asp.Net Core 3.1 using the NewtonSoft.Json

services.AddControllers()
        .AddNewtonsoftJson(options =>
        {
            options.UseMemberCasing();
        });
